getMaskValueBehavior

number getMaskValueBehavior(valueType)
number getMaskValueBehavior(valueType, maskStyle)

Determine how the current data masking context will respond to a maskValue request for a given value type and optional mask style. The result is a bit field that describes why masking will or will not occur.

• Bit 0 indicates if valueType is known in the profile.
• Bit 1 indicates if maskStyle, if given, is known in a selected value type (i.e., valueType if known or "*" if not).
• Bit 2 indicates if masking will occur.

Value	Bits	Meaning
0	000	The value of valueType is not known and the unconditional masking value type named "*" is not defined. A value will not be masked.
1	001	The value of valueType is known but unselected. The value of maskStyle, if given, is unknown. A value will not be masked.
2	010	Cannot occur.
3	011	The value of valueType is known but unselected. The value of maskStyle is known for the named type. A value will not be masked.
4	100	The value of valueType is unknown but the unconditional masking value type named "*" is known and selected. A value will be masked.
5	101	The value of valueType is known and selected. The value of maskStyle, if given, is unknown. A value will be masked.
6	110	The value of valueType is unknown but the unconditional masking value type named "*" is known and selected. The value of maskStyle is known by the unconditional value type. A value will be masked.
7	111	The value of valueType is known and selected. The value of maskStyle is known for the named type. A value will be masked.

Parameter	Required?	Description
valueType	Y	Identifier that may, but is not required to, be recognized as a masking profile value type.
maskStyle	N	Identifier that may, but is not required to, be recognized as a masking profile value type's mask style. Only relevant to the result if either the value of valueType is known in the profile or a value type named "*" is known and selected in the profile.
